On our way out of town on Monday, Stephanie and I picked up two locally bottled waters at the Denver airport for the airplane ride home. They were Aspen Pure (USA) at $2.75 (709 ml) and Naturally Boulder (USA) for $1.65 (500 ml), both still waters. Both needed to be added to the FineWaters' growing list of bottled waters.
Aspen Pure is "bottled at the source in the Rocky Mountains to guarantee freshness and the highest quality." The company donates a portion of the sale proceeds to research on breast cancer, heart disease and muscular dystrophy.
Naturally Boulder "comes from a timeless place of snow-capped peaks and journeys to Colorado's prehistorical Arapahoe Aquifer. When it is brought to the surface, it is carefully bottled to ensure the safest quality."
Coincidentally, after I got home, FineWaters founder Dr. Michael Mascha directed my attention to a recent report about water served on airlines and asked me to do a story for the October 2004 issue of the FineWaters e-mail newsletter, The Water Connoisseur. I don't know whether I think airline water is safe. I often take a bottle on the plane just to have the water handy. We'll find out.
